Forum Upgrade Questions and Concerns
We have been working vigilantly behind the scenes here at MBWorld on a new forum upgrade and layout.
The new upgrade will be deployed on Saturday June 26 and Sunday June 27, 2004 to our servers.
We anticipate this upgrade will take the better part of June 26th to complete, however, in all possibility it may also require June 27th for minor testing and tweaking.
The upgrade will require us to take the forums offline during these 2 days.
No content will be lost as we will migrate all the existing threads and user profiles over to the new upgraded forum.
Many new features will be available for everyone to use with the new upgrade including the ability to store pictures on MBWorld again.
This is probably the most requested feature that we have been asked about since we took picture hosting offline a while back.
If you have any questions, I will start a post in the Forum Questions & Help forum.

They are staying with vBulletin, just upgrading to the latest version. vBulletin is one of the industry leaders in this type of software with an enormous backing of customization *hint hint*
Yall going to include some bandwidth and stability mods? What are the specs of the server you're running on? Have you thought of the different skins?
I'm still waiting for my graphics SDK kit..

As for custom mods, don't count on it. Custom mods seem to cause weird problems here and there and with a forum of this size we prefer to keep it as stable as possible.

Awiner,
Are the search features working properly? I will use your posts as an example. If I conduct a title search for "HRE" in the tires and suspension forum, a handful of searches are found, but it does not appear that all of them are found. For instance, your posts about your HRE 847's are not found. However, if I do a member search (you for instance), and then find all of your threads that you started, your HRE post (clearly in the title) will be found.
Thanks,
Mike

When I search on HRE I see over 200 posts. When I do an advanced search using my name as the poster and search HRE, I don't see anything ! I will look into it.

That's weird.
As a specific example, if I go into the "Tirerack's wheel . . . ." forum, and set the "From the" display option at the bottom to "Beginning", I will get 52 pages right now. Then, just under the number of pages at the upper right, if I select the "search this forum" option, and type "hre" in the pull down, I will only get 28 threads. Your "HRE 847's" post will not be in there. If I go into advanced, and type "hre", it will still not be in there. If I type "hre" and "awiner" under the user name under the advanced search, no matches are found.
If I type just your name under the advanced search, your "HRE 847's" thread will be found.
